So I recently started using Fox Farm for fertilizer, and my plants, one of them, on the first set of leaves, one of the leaves are brown and yellowish. Another plant, the vine spirals around once, and then stands up or leans against the cup. Any suggestions? I have been spraying jalapeno juice in a spray bottle to remove mites and other critters as well.:confused::confused::confused::shock::confused:

Are you using FF Ocean Forest?
It is for older plants and known to be " hot" and burn young plants.

You want Happy Frog for the first 2 months, just add water.

Replant after 2 months in Ocean Forest, the soil will have enough nutes 2 months so just add water.

At 4 months with the soil being changed at least once the plants will start to need extra Nutes in the water.

FF Big Bloom is used in conjunction with FF Grow Big and to Flower FF Tiger Bloom to finish your buds.

Check online for Fox Farm nutrient schedule.

Also make sure you get the right product for your substrate , I use FF All three above in a Hydro setup so I buy for hydroponics they make a soil line as well.

Bottle says
4 tablespoons per gallon use every other water.
Sounds like you are under feeding them in coco or hydro or over feeding them in soil.

Good Luck to ya, lots of good stuff online especially YouTube.

How do you over feed in soil?
The same way you overfeed in any other media: putting too much nutrient ppm into it.

You may be making the mistake of thinking of soil as a purely natural and/or organic media that must, by definition, be healthy for plants. Two problems exist with that thinking.

First, many if not most growers supplement the soil with additional fertilizers. That's pushing up the ppm of nutrients in the soil. If, then, an overzealous grower adds even more nutrients they can raise the ppm above safe levels and thereby overfeed the plants.

Second, even without supplementation the soil can be too rich for certain plants. It's unlikely that natural soil would ever overfeed our plants, but some other plants would die rapidly if transplanted to the average garden supply soil. A good example would be the Venus Fly Trap. Virtually ANY fertilizer at all is too much for a VFT. They've adapted to receive all their nutrition through predatory means, and any food present at the roots will burn them severely.

In most cases with the vast majority of plants you won't find natural soils too rich to grow them. But that does go back to the first point, which is that gardeners usually supplement natural soil with additional fertilizers to improve the growing conditions for their plants. That's where the bulk of overfeeding in soil (or any other medium) comes from: human over-zealousness. The old "if some is good, more is better" mistake.
